For 2012 season there is a lifting of the Nucleon available, created primarily for the competitors. The WRC version (With Rod Concept) incorporates Dudek Flexi Egde technology.

Some minor modifications in the design (improving curvature among others) caused the wing to be more agile. Exchanging mylar reinforcements for elastic rods (as in other our recent designs: Hadron, Optic, Colt, Orca2) results in easier inflation and stiffens the leading edge. Increased speed ranges are another advantage of that improvement. ALC+ (new version of the ALC steering system) is more efficient and affects the canopy in more proportionate way. In effect steering appears to be smoother.
Those modifications should be welcomed especially by the competitors, seeking both for faultless launches and agility. Unfortunately despite relatively minor changes, Nucleon WRC is not covered by the certificate issued for standard version. Anybody wishing to use certified paraglider will have to stay with regular Nucleons, which due to constant demand will remain in production for the foreseeable future.

The legendary Morning Glory Conquered at last!

The spectacular wave cloud formation for years have been deemed inaccessible to paragliders, as our rag-wings could not cope with increased local turbulences and wind speed. This is history now!

Recently team members of The Bound for Glory Project managed to harness the monster as the first paraglider pilots in the world. Precisely speaking, for the first time it was done on 20th September. Heartiest congratulations, deep bows and overall respect for the team including:

All pilots used Dudek Paragliders wings, Nucleons WRC, ordered for the event, and Discovery Paramotors. Only Chris chose to fly his Hadron from time to time.
For all we know, the modernised Nucleons passed that trial with flying colours. We are happy and proud to supply vital part of the equipment necessary for that extraordinary feat.

Morning Glory is a spectacular wall of Cumulus clouds occuring in northern Australia, just a couple of days each year. The phenomenon can not be accurately forecasted and you need some luck to encounter it. The linear cloud formation moves inland at 40-60 km/h speed, triggering strong and regular lift on the front side of the wall, which you can soar for hundreds of kilometers enjoying fantastic views. On the other hand, lee side of the cloud wall is really dangerous, with huge and mighty rotors reaching at times the very surface. That's why until recently only gliders soared that cloud, with a few daring hanggliders treating it with utmost respect.
